He paints a very scary picture of a country in the grip of Mullahs rousing an illiterate populace into violence with the temptation of martyrdom and heaven a martyr goes to after that.
That got me thinking...
Pakistan is right next door. Its also in the grip of Mullahs. There are thousands of unemployed youths willing to take up arms and become martyrs eventually. Can something like what happened in 1979 in Iran happen there? Possible.
But how does it affect us you might ask?
The Iran-Iraq war lasted for 8 years. In the eight years Iran lost an estimated 500, 000 people while Iraq lost some 375, 000 people. Both the countries fought because of only Shia-Sunni differences. And both the countries were not even nuclear weapons states....
